Michael J. Sullivan garnered critical raves and a massive readership for his Riyria Revelations series. The 1st book in his highly anticipated Riyria Chronicles group of prequels, The Crown Tower includes warrior Hadrian Blackwater with thieving assassin Royce Melborn. The two form a less-than-friendly pairing, however the goal before them includes a rare prize certainly, and if indeed they can breach the supposedly impregnable walls from the Crown Tower, their brands will be legend.
